Our daughter will just enter kinder garden school but I am starting to get curious how would it be to have a graduating child. So when a good friend Ate Agnes invited us for their son's HS graduation party, we did attend.

Ate Agnes is dear to us because she is one of EJ's godmother so I did not hesitate to help barbecuing when we arrived at the venue.

Goodluck to your new journey Ross.

A photo of mareng Raquel (5 months preggo), me, and Ate Agnes's sister, Norie. We are all bicolanas so we had so much fun talking to each other.

They had a graduation piñata which they did after the chow time. Too bad my kids weren't to my FIL already so they weren't able to participate.

The BBQ lady lol.

Two days after that, we also attended to the graduation party of our neighbor's daughter. They are pretty nice neighbor so we can't say no.

With the two graduation parties that we attended, I can say that it's a tough job for parents over here. I learned that, when you attend a party, you don't need to bring a gift, you just hand out card with cash in it. I find it really practical that they do that as it will help the student a jump start to their college fund.

it's just being practical, if you bring gifts and the receiver have no use for them, sayang lang. With the cash they can buy what is needed. hello rose, hope you can visit my new site @ www.josiesfiles.com

The graduations will start flying by - the first is the hardest even if they have not yet grown up...we had a few, pre-school. middle school, high school and now college. It can fly by. At least this ceremony had plenty of good eats!

Yup Mommy Rose it's a real work pag mag graduate na dito sila nang high school. Since I arrived here in MI di ko na mabilang ang open house na na-attend ko because DH comes from a huge family. This year I am going to three open houses. Happy Tuesday!

Never heard of graduation parties before. But then I'm from another culture.Sounds sensible to give money to a students.Education is expensive all over the world.Now you know h how to do it when your little girlie is leaving home.I can only promise you, time flies.
